This is a little thing I put together for creating simple UI screens using the BevyEngine. The idea is to define the screens in a sort of poor-man's markup and this crate will then provide some functions to create the UI 'objects'.
For example, the following in a file will create a screen looking like:
with the calling code:
sh
let lines = gerg_ui::read_ui_file("screen1.ui");
let controls = gerg_ui::instantiate_controls(lines);
let _entities = gerg_ui::spawn_controls(&mut commands, asset_server, materials, controls), Vec2::new(1920.0, 1080.0);
or:
sh
let controls = gerg_ui::instantiate_controls_from_file("screen1.ui");
let _entities = gerg_ui::spawn_controls(&mut commands, asset_server, materials, controls), Vec2::new(1920.0, 1080.0);
